The Big Brother house is reportedly facing demolition after planning permission was turned down by the council.

The famous house stands in Elstree Studios, Borehamwood, and has hosted the reality show and its celebrity version for years, but it's now being reported that the local Hertsmere Council has rejected the latest applications.

Bosses had wanted to secure permission to keep the building and its surrounding sets at Elstree until September 2019, but the plans were rejected, reports the Daily Star .

According to the newspaper, two applications regarding the buildings have been thrown out, meaning Channel 5 bosses will have to rush to submit new plans and get them approved before their current period runs out.

If they don't get their plans approved, it means they could be forced to dismantle the set.

One of the applications was to "allow for the Big Brother Building and acoustic and visual screening to remain in place until 30th Sep 2019."

And another asked to "allow additional television production set, television studio, external area and acoustic and visual fence to NE corner of compound to remain in place until 30 Sep 2019."

But both plans were rejected.

A representatives for the local authority told the newspaper: "The plans have been returned to the applicant.

"They have been rejected, it wasn't suitable."

Channel 5 declined to comment when contacted by Mirror Online.

Hertsmere Council has also been contacted.

The show, hosted by Emma Willis, was recently pushed back to avoid a clash with rival Love Island .

The shows launched on the same night last year - with Love Island smashing Big Brother in the ratings war.

In a bid to stop a repeat performance, Channel 5 bosses are reportedly set to delay the launch of the new series.

With Channel 5 still yet to renew the show beyond the end of this year, another hammer blow from Love Island could prove fatal.

Love Island is set to launch on Monday, June 4. A launch date for a new series of Big Brother is yet to be announced.
